rlhis invention relates to roller hearingsl and has for its object the. provision of a bearing of simple construction. adapted vfor heavy service and which will he comparatively inexpensive to manufacture.

Other objects and the features of novelty will be apparent from the following description taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, in which,

Figure lis a side elevation of la bearing embodying the invention, a portion of the ligure being a section on the'line l-l of Figi 2; and

Fig. 2 is an edge view of the bearing shown in Fig. l, withparts broken awayand other parts shown 1n section.

Referring to the'drawings, l0 indicates the inner ring of the bearin which is provided with a central radial exteriorl and which is preferably without side flanges. The outer rin 12 is preferably provided with side anges, one of which, indicated at 13, is formed integral with. the ring and the other indicated at 14 is preferably attached to the ring in any suitable manner and in lig. 2 is shown as being attached by the coperating flanges 15 and 16, the latter being turned over the former after .the parts have been assembled. Spaces are provided on the opposite sides of the flange 1l for two series of rollers 17 and 18, the former series being arranged between the flanges 1l and 13 and the latter series being arranged between the flanges 11 and Ll-l, the, anges cooperating to transmit end thrust from one ring to the other. In order to avoid any tendency for the rollers to tilt,

due to end thrust thereon, and also to p rovide separators for the rollers, a loose ring 19 is provided in alinement with the ange ange 1l on its spacing.

Isets of. rollers and having ll and in contact with the vinner ends of the rollers. 'llliering 19 lis provided with the oppositely projecting arms 20 Yand 21 which extend between the rollers and serve as' separators to maintain the rollers in the desired lt willbe understood that in thev operation of the bearing the ring i9 will be carried aroundy with the rollers although at all times servin to transmit end thrustfrom one seriesbf ro 1ers to the other.

It will be evident'tothose skilled fin the l.

art that changes-inthe minor details of con; dity struction maybemade without departin I ,from the spirit of the invention as define in the appended claims. H

f Having described the invention: what is claimed and desiredto be secured by Letters- Patentis,

l. ln a roller bearing, the combination of an inner. ring, an outer1 ring, one of said i rmgs lhavmg an integral central radial4 Hangeand the other of said rings havin flanges at its sides, the side surfaces of all said flanges being in planes perpendicular to theaXis of the bearing, two series lof flat endedfcylindrical rollers arranged on oppo-l site sides of said central radial flange, and a ring in alinement with and 0f the same width as said central flangeY adapted to be engaged by the inner ends of both of said laterally projecting arms onopposite si s thereof'servin as separators for the rollers.

2. In a roller bearing, the combination of an inner ring provided with an integral central radial flange, an outer ring having side flanges, the saidL surfaces of all said flanges being in planes perpendicular to the axis of the bearing, two series of flat ended cylindrical rollers arranged on opposite sides of f ln testimony whereof I affix my signature. e5
